Barcelona

Situated in a privileged position on the north-eastern coast of the Iberian peninsula and the shores of the Mediterranean, Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain in both size and population. It is also the capital of Catalonia, 1 of the 17 Autonomous Communities that make up Spain.

There are two official languages spoken in Barcelona: Catalan, generally spoken in all of Catalonia, and Castilian Spanish. The city of Barcelona has a population of 1.510.000, but this number spirals to more than 4.000.000 if the outlying areas are also included.

Barcelona, the second largest city in Spain and the capital of Catalonia, is the perfect location for a city break or as a base for a longer holiday.

There is a great choice of self catering accommodation in this city, too, so you can find your ideal apartment or villa in this beautiful area of Spain.

This modern cosmopolitan city, which was founded in around 230 BC, is brimming with shops, restaurants, amazing architecture, golden, sandy beaches and a historical and cultural heritage.
